Q: Hi, looking at the financial sector. I have TD and IFC and looking to add another. The options I am looking at is another Canadian bank that benefits from US exposure (RY), a US bank (JPM) or ETF of banks (ZBK), or diversifying away from North America to a major UK (LYG) or European (ING) bank. My objective is downside safety paired with dividend income and some growth. I realize global stocks aren't your focus, but would appreciate any thoughts you might have on relative merits of these stocks.

Q: Good morning,

In one response to a question on the choice of a International exposure ETF, the 5i preference was VEQT, XEQT and XWD in that order.

Q1. Has you opinion of the order of these Global ETFs changed in any way and given XWD's 5 and 10 year performance?

Q2. Would you kindly explain your rational for ranking XWD ahead of VEQT and XEQT and even HEQT.

Thank you in advance and I look forward to hearing your response.

Q: Last September, you preferred HMC to TM, deeming the former both better and less expensive. Since then, HMC's price has reclaimed its previous high, while TM's has exceeded its high by ~50%, yet their P/E ratios are both miniscule and near-equivalent (0.14 and 0.13, respectively, according to your database.)

Do you still prefer HMC? I ask as TM's semi-contrarian approach to vehicular electrification is starting to look like a better fit with orthodox market expectations than their competitors'.

And what's going on with those P/E ratios? Stellantis and GM are ~5, Ford is ~11; is this much disparity even plausible?
